Hello.
The problem persists when I select the compass with GPS enabled on Xiaomi 15T Pro (Android 16).

Hello Menion,

viewing a long track is so fast now and without any problems. It seems also the library is faster as before.

There was also no crash until now.

Thank you!

Track thumbnails Line thickness still much too thick

In recent years, changes have been made to the line thickness in the track thumbnails several times. Most recently, they were actually quite optimal, even with version 4.32.4.

With the current beta (Edit: and also in the brand new 4.33, which I have just installed), the lines created are much too thick, making it difficult to see the course of the track. The circuit around a narrow lake becomes a fat sausage. The city tour becomes a thick blob of colour. 

See image.

It seems, the thickness in 4.33 is not the same for all previews. see image.

That depends on when they were created. Try updating them (long press on the thumbnail). 😎

I see.

I tried something with the diagram. When I trace the route on the diagram with my finger, I can easily follow the position on the map. Unfortunately, the kilometer information at the bottom of the diagram is not visible.
Suggestion: When I use the diagram, hide all other information. Just the diagram and map. This can be done with a button or by simply clicking on the diagram. To return, there is a back arrow in the upper left corner.
Optionally, the point information for the current waypoint could also be displayed. Perhaps there could be a button next to the back arrow to display and then return. The heading "Diagram" can be omitted when using the diagram.

I have now tested the point notification, and it is working again.

However, I noticed a silly problem concerning geotagged photos. I have activated the point notification. Now I take a photo while on the move. Shortly afterwards, the photo icon appears on the map. And it beeps because the point notification recognises this icon as a point and alerts me. Of course, this does not make sense.

I deactivated all folders in the point notification settings. Now there should be no alarm. Nevertheless, the sound is triggered for every new (geotagged) photo. Very annoying.

Bug? Or how can this be avoided?

I can confirm that. It's the same with my Poco F5.

when 4.33 installed & run for 1st time, this screen below was displayed & never progressed (I left for a few minutes)

I switched to another app, re-ran Locus, then all worked as normal.

Same here.

Same on two devices. The progress bar remained stuck at 52%. On the S10, restarting Locus helped, while on the MotoE60, waiting a while was sufficient.

The error may be with the Xiaomi, Poco, and Redmi brands.
I just updated a Honor 200 to Android 16 and there is no error.

@Agus, @freischneider
crash in GPS screen > unfortunately, I do not see any automatic reports (yet). May you please send me a log from the app? Thanks.


@Graf Geo
line thinkness > I'll look at it, thanks!

POI alert on photos > heh, funny problem. Exclude geotagged photos from POI alert? Is this a solution you always want?


Waiting during start > hmm, some of you are not patiente  . App does a "vacuum" task on the database > result should be a lot lot faster access to data. On my own database, it took around 2 minutes, so I expected a very low number of users will have to wait too long.
